A Yazoo City man remains behind bars after allegedly choking his girlfriend during an altercation.
Dacotah Cupples, 27, was charged with aggravated assault and malicious mischief.
Terry Gann, chief investigator with the Yazoo County Sheriff’s Department, said the incident occurred last Wednesday in the home Cupples shares with the victim and their child.
“During an argument, Cupples threw his girlfriend on the ground and started choking her,” Gann said. “Because of the strangulation, the charge was upgraded to a felony.”
